Hair Removal

Revel in your Radiance with Effortless Laser Hair Removal

Why do you need Hair Removal?

From as early as ten years old, around puberty, children will start to develop hair under their armpits, on their legs and intimate areas. This hair tends to be thicker, stronger and darker than hair that has been seen before. Hair growth will depend on the individual with some people experiencing very thick hair or unwanted hair on certain parts of their body including their face.

As a result, people seek help to remove unwanted hair in a variety of ways:

Waxing (both at home and in a clinic)

Waxing is an effective way to remove large amounts of hair at once. Any area of your body can be waxed, including legs, back, chest, lips, armpits, eyebrows, and bikini area. Waxing can be quite painful but if done regularly (every 4 to 6 weeks) it could lead to more skin sensitivity. You can experience infections and ingrown hair. 

Shaving

One of the fastest and most effective ways to remove hair in large quantities.

Depilatory cream

Another quick and painless option are depilatory creams. Leave cream on the relevant area and in a few minutes the strands of hair are weakened. Creams are using chemicals to remove the hair which can sometimes cause burns, its best to do a patch test first. 

 All of these options require regular uses, laser hair removal as an alternative providing longer-term results once a course of treatment has been completed. 

What is Laser Hair Removal/Reduction? 

Laser hair removal has gained significant popularity as a highly effective and sought-after long-term solution for significant hair reduction. This revolutionary method harnesses the power of lasers to selectively target and treat hair follicles, offering a more permanent reduction in hair growth. By emitting concentrated beams of light, the laser penetrates the skin’s surface and precisely heats the melanin pigment present in the hair follicles. This controlled thermal energy damages the follicles, impairing their ability to generate new hair strands. 

Imagine a life free from the hassle and discomfort of constant hair removal. Say goodbye to razors, waxing, and tedious routines, and say hello to smooth, silky skin that lets your natural beauty shine through. With advanced hair removal techniques, you can achieve long-lasting results and reclaim your time for what truly matters. 

Lasers can be used to remove hair from across the body and face. The number of sessions required and time of appointments varies depending on an individual needs and the body parts involved.
